The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday directed carriers not to offer unserviceable seats to passengers on domestic and international flights. This follows an earlier audit of seats and cabin fittings by the aviation regulator, which found that carriers had many broken or unserviceable seats.In a communication to all domestic airlines, the DGCA said some carriers are offering unserviceable seats to passengers on their scheduled international and domestic operations. “This practice is not only causing inconvenience to the travellers but is also inviting a serious safety concern,”
